التشريعات الفرنسية و أثرها على الحركة العمالية في الجزائر 1878-1905

Abstract EN

The colonial extraordinary laws in Algeria worked to impose restrictions on the Algerian people, by prohibiting any activity that brings the Algerians to political awareness that could threaten the French presence in Algeria, including the activities of establishing labor organizations and professional unions.

But the Algerians were able to use French legislation and laws to their advantage and benefit from it to gain access to the workers' movement.

Among the most important of these laws are the Professional Associations Law, March 21, 1884, and the Associations Law by July 01, 1901, which will have a major impact on the labor movement in Algeria and its activities, both for Algerians and even Europeans.

To understand these laws and their impact in Algeria, we must be study first the history of the French labor movement, because birth is its counterpart in Algeria, which is not an extension of it, because Algeria was a settlement colony closely related to the metropolis, and the laws in force have their source in the French legislator in Paris.
